Re: [PLUG] Question on stable LINUX for Aspire one

I did an update of the packages for the current version and it went oksy. Then it had an upgrade to 14.04 (I think that was the version) so I figured why not. It went through its paces for quite a while and then it froze and rebooted. When it rebooted it could not find a filesystem and dropped into maintenance mode. So I figured it was best to start over with a clean install.

I would probably still try to load Lubuntu 14.04 LTS on it but when you say the Ubuntu update went south, what does that mean? Can you give more detail?

No problem as it was really only used a device for the Living room (prior to the iPad and Tablet world). I am looking for the recommendations as tothe most stable version, or best suited, for that device.

I bought this unit used with Ubuntu installed but always had an issue with the unit going to sleep (freezing) for a few seconds on a regular basis which lead me to believe some driver was not fully compatible.
